Abstract	This chapter critically reviews and discusses the concept of smart-wise cities, to understand how the new concept derived from smart and wise cities can support urban management and development. The findings show that the concept emerged from the limitations of previous concepts, seeking to integrate the human dimension of cities with technology, sustainable infrastructure, and the environment. The primary goal of smart-wise cities is to improve the quality of life for all citizens while protecting the environment. Different from smart cities, technology is not a priority. Technologies are used as a means to achieve goals. The research agenda of this study highlights that despite the concept presenting roots aligned with sustainable development goals and concern for the future of humanity, its potential needs to be studied in depth to ensure that it is a viable urban solution and not just another buzzword. © 2025 Elsevier Inc.
